VOTER REGISTRATION Voter Registration The purpose of voter registration in Guam is to allow qualified citizens the right to vote. It is the responsibility of the Guam Election Commission and its election officials to ensure that every eligible elector can participate in the democratic process.

§ Qualifications to Register:

In order to register to vote, an individual: 1) Must be a U.S. citizen 2) Must be eighteen (18) years of age or older on or before Election Day 3) Must be a resident of Guam 4) Must not be confined to a mental institution 5) Must not be judicially declared insane 6) Must not be committed under a sentence of imprisonment

SOURCE: Law governing 3 GCA § 3101

§ Pre-Registration

Newly enacted Public Law 33-12 provides that every person that meets all eligibility requirements to register and is sixteen (16) years of age or older, may pre-register to vote. The registration of an individual who has pre-registered to vote will be deemed effective on the date the registrant will be eighteen (18) years of age. Pre-registrants must provide current information if the information provided on their pre-registration is no longer current on the date their registration would be deemed effective.

Residency

Guam law provides that each person’s residency is to be determined individually; that is, no person’s residency shall conclusively determine the residency of that person’s spouse or child. The following rules should be prescribed in determining an individual’s residency:

1) The residency of a person is that place where that person lives for a period of at least thirty (30) days, maintains that person’s home and to which, whenever that person is absent, that person has the bona fide intention to return. For voting purposes, a person may have only one (1) residence. Indicia of residence on Guam shall include, but not be limited to, payment of Guam personal income taxes, maintaining a home or other living accommodation on Guam, having temporarily departed Guam with the intention of returning, and not being registered to vote in any other U.S. jurisdiction since departing Guam.

2) A person does not gain residency on Guam, or any voting district, from which that person comes unless that person intends to establish a permanent dwelling place within Guam, or such voting district.

3) If a person resides with one’s family in one (1) place, and does business or maintains real property in another place, the former is that person’s place of residence; but any person having a family, who establishes one’s own dwelling place other than with one’s family, with the intention of remaining there, shall be considered a resident where that person established such dwelling place. Page 12

December 2, 2015

VOTER REGISTRATION 4) The mere intention to acquire a new residence without physical presence at such place does not establish residency.

5) A person does not obtain or lose residency solely by reason of that person’s presence or absence while employed in the services of the United States, or of the government of Guam, or while a student at an institution of learning, or while kept in an institution, a hospital, or asylum, or while confined in prison.

6) A person loses one’s residency in Guam if that person registers to vote or votes in an election held in a place other than Guam.

7) No person who is registered to vote in another U.S. jurisdiction may vote on Guam until the Commission has transmitted an affidavit to said jurisdiction requesting that person’s name to be removed from such election roll. The Commission shall provide affidavit forms for the removal of names of voters from the election rolls of other U.S. jurisdictions. For purposes of establishing residency in a district or municipality, a person shall be domiciled in that district or municipality for at least thirty (30) days immediately prior to the election. For voting purposes, a person shall have only one (1) place of domicile. SOURCE: Law governing 3 GCA § 9123

§ Site Inspections Polling Places

The Guam Election Commission (GEC) Executive Director will send a letter to the Guam Department of Education (DOE) Superintendent notifying him/her of the GEC’s intent to use Guam public schools as polling locations for the upcoming election. The correspondence should be sent out at least six (6) months prior to the Primary Election. The GEC staff, upon approval of the Superintendent, shall visit each polling place no later than 60 days prior to any primary election. The staff will meet with the principal or designated staff member of each school to be used as a polling location to finalize and confirm rooms that are to be used for each precinct. Each room to be used as a polling site should meet the following minimum criteria: 1. There should be adequate Accessible Parking spaces (one accessible parking space for every 25 spaces).

2. The room used should be at a reasonable distance from the parking area.

3. Rooms should be on the same level as the parking area. If the facility being used is multi-level, there should access ramps available for persons with disabilities. The ramp to be used should be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. (one foot run: one inch rise).

4. There should be adequate lighting along the path of travel to and from the parking space and polling area.



5. Restrooms should be at a reasonable distance from the polling area.

The school principal should designate a poll maintenance worker whose responsibility will be to ensure that the entrances to the polling sites will be opened no later than 6 a.m. Election Day. That person will be compensated by the GEC. Prior to Election Day, the GEC staff will set perimeter boundaries for electioneering. The boundaries shall be set in accordance with Title 3 of the Guam Code Annotated. SOURCE: Best Practice since 2004

Polling Place Accessibility

Attention needs to be given to the special needs of voters with disabilities. It is important to examine the entire polling place, from the parking lot to the entrance of the polling place to the voting area, to assess any areas where temporary accommodations may be needed. The GEC. Some common problems to look for: 1. If there is an alternate entrance used by voters with disabilities, the pathway to the accessible entrance should be clearly marked and a sign posted at the primary entrance directing voters with disabilities to the accessible entrance.

Page 27

December 2, 2015

PRE-ELECTION DAY PREPARATION 2. Be sure that if off-street parking is available at the polling location, that any accessible parking spots are marked with appropriate signs and access aisles are clearly designated.

3. Some doors are too heavy to be opened by the elderly or voters with disabilities. Such doors should have automatic openers or should be left open, if designated as the accessible entrance.

4. A voting booth that is accessible to electors in wheelchairs must be set up. This booth must be at least thirty (30) inches wide with a writing surface between twenty-eight (28) and thirty-four (34) inches high in order to meet accessibility standards. A wheelchair accessible table may meet this requirement if supplemented with a curtain.

5. Accessible equipment must be set up in the accessible voting booth in a manner ensuring privacy for voters choosing to use the equipment.

§ Equipping the Polling Place

The Guam Election Commission is responsible for developing a layout for each of the polling places in accordance with 3 GCA § 9103 (i.e. The precincts shall be arranged so that neither the ballot boxes nor tables on which they are placed shall be hidden from the view of voters outside the guard-rail, rope or other barricade). Prior to any election the Commission shall solicit the assistance of the Department of Public Works of the government of Guam to utilize its labor force for the preparation of the polls.

Layout

Prior to Election Day, the GEC officials should consult with the school principals and Poll Maintenance Workers as to the layout of the polling place. It is important to be familiar with the flow of traffic and take a critical look at the polling place, to make sure it will be accessible for all voters, including those with disabilities.

When planning the layout of the polling place, consider the following: Voting Booths ú Every polling location is required to be able to service a minimum of eight (8) voters at a time. ú One booth must be at least thirty (30) inches wide with a writing surface between twenty-eight (28) and thirty-four (34) inches high in order to meet accessibility standards. ú Precinct Officials must be trained to properly assemble all voting booths and curtains. ú Booths must have a surface on which to write and be sufficiently enclosed to ensure privacy for the elector. It is important to remember that the accessible booth must also be sufficiently enclosed to ensure privacy for the elector. This can be achieved by using a privacy shield or by positioning the booth/equipment so that it is facing away from the view of the room. ú Appropriate marking devices (pencils, pens, etc.) for use with the voting equipment, if any, must be provided.

PRE-ELECTION DAY PREPARATION Ballot Boxes ú One ballot box is required for each type of ballot used in the election. ú The boxes should be clearly labeled to indicate its designated precinct and the ballots (i.e. partisan and nonpartisan) that are to be deposited in them. ú There should be a suitable lock for each ballot box.

Tables and Chairs ú Ensure that there are enough tables and chairs for election officials to conduct their work, as well as adequate seating for voters waiting to be serviced.

Signs ú Traffic in the polling place can be improved by posting “Enter” and “Exit” signs. In addition, signs marking the accessible path should be prominently posted and easy to read from the parking lot. ú Directions that instruct voters on how to mark ballots, provide proof of identification and sign the Election Day rosters can make the check-in process more efficient. (NOTE: These signs are to be distributed in the supply boxes on Election Day).

§ Ballots Blank Ballot Inventory

Upon conducting an accurate inventory of blank ballot stock, the GEC establishes the total number of ballots and ballot types needed for each precinct based on current registration, factoring in an increase of fifteen per cent (15%).

The ballot stock will be divided into separate boxes for each precinct and by ballot type. Each ballot stock code is located on the bottom right corner of each ballot. The GEC ensures that each box has ten per cent (10%) more ballots according to the total number of registered voters in that precinct (past practice of GEC to provide +10% to each precinct). Ensure that each ballot box is labeled properly accordingly to the precinct and stock code. SOURCE: Board Policy 6/3/1974

Ballot Design/Name Placement on Ballot The ballot layout is developed by the Guam Election Commission based on Title 3 GCA specifications. The ballot layout is then submitted to Legal Counsel for review and to the Board of Commissioners for approval. Only upon approval of the ballot layout can the order of the names on the ballot be drawn.

Candidates draw numbers at random to determine the order in which their name will appear on the ballot. Any changes to the way their name/nickname is to appear on the ballot shall be done at this time. SOURCE: Law governing 3 GCA § § 7105 & 7106

§ Before the Polls Open

All Precinct Officials shall report on Election Day to their assigned precincts no later than 6:00 a.m. As polls will be open an hour after arrival at the polling place, it is imperative that Precinct Officials work diligently and cooperatively as a team to be ready at 7:00 a.m. when voting officially begins. ú The assigned transport officer or the accompanying Guam Police Officer will hand to each precinct two (2) ballot boxes and a sealed supply box. If the ballot boxes and the sealed supply box are not delivered by 6:30 a.m., a Precinct Official must call Election Headquarters immediately. In this case, Precinct Officials can anticipate a delay in declaring the polling place open and should be prepared to document the reason or cause for any delay.

Packages are: -- One (1) labeled Partisan; -- One (1) marked Non-Partisan; -- One (1) labeled Provisional Partisan; and, -- One (1) marked Provisional Non-Partisan. Open the package labeled Partisan and count the number of ballots in stacks of 25 (this may make it easier in the event a second count is necessary). Compare the total counted to the number shown on Ballot Box/Supply Box and Ballot Transfer Record Form EC-16. Any difference between the precinct count and that shown on Form EC16 should be entered on Form EC-13. If there is no difference, enter the count. It is important that all five precinct officials attest to the count. Place partisan ballots aside. Repeat the same process outlined in “Counting supply of ballots” for the Non-Partisan, Provisional Partisan, and Provisional Non-Partisan ballots. Again, all five precinct officials must attest to the number of ballots received and counted. Make certain to record the numbers on appropriate lines in PART I(A) of Partisan Form EC-13, NonPartisan Form EC-13 and Provisional Form EC-13P, and Part III(D) of Provisional Form EC-13P. Any Absentee Ballot Envelopes from voters received by the GEC before Election Day will be delivered in the supply box. Count the number of Absentee Ballot Envelopes received. Verify the count against the number indicated on the Absentee Ballot Transfer/Receipt Form EC-15. Record the number of Absentee Ballot Envelopes received on Part I (B) of Form EC-13. GEC presumes that all absentee ballot envelopes contain ballot(s). Securely place absentee ballot envelopes back in the supply box. Any Absentee Ballots received by GEC throughout Election Day will be delivered to the respective precincts.

§ Opening the Polls

The Precinct Leader must ensure everyone is at his or her assigned place and ready to receive voters. The Precinct Leader will record the time he/she declared the polling place open, and the names of any substitute Precinct Official(s) on the Record of Poll Status / Precinct Official Report EC-18. Barring any delay and promptly at 7:00 a.m., the Precinct Leader will proclaim clearly and loudly, “THE POLLS ARE OPEN.” The Precinct Leader shall display the empty ballot boxes to voters already present before proceeding to lock the boxes before the first ballots are cast. Ballot boxes shall remain locked throughout Election Day, and shall not be removed from the polling site until after the polls close.

Your facial expressions, gestures, and body movements help in understanding. Don’t shout or speak in the person’s ear. If full understanding is doubtful, try writing a note to the person. v Pre-printed signs or a notepad should be available to assist communications with deaf or hard-of-hearing electors. v Before pushing someone in a wheelchair, ask if you may do so and how you should proceed. v Greet a person who is visually impaired by letting the person know who and where you are. v Provide a guiding device such as a ruler or a signature guide for signing forms.
